Egyptian Cartouche Necklace in Hebrew or Hieroglyphs | BUNIQE
$320.00+ $400.00+
An Egyptian cartouche in 925 sterling silver, with your name spelled in solid 14K gold letters raised above the surface.
You choose the script. Hebrew Name letters, or real Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Either way, the Hebrew letters are cut from solid gold and set onto the plate by hand, so the name stands up off the silver and throws its own shadow.

HEBREW OR HIEROGLYPHS
─────────────────────
This is the choice that makes the piece yours, and it changes what the necklace says about you.
Hebrew letters put your own name on the plate in the alphabet it belongs to. Most people who order this want their Hebrew name, the one used at a bar mitzvah or a bat mitzvah.
Hieroglyph symbols are how the Egyptians actually wrote a name inside a cartouche. Send me the name in English, and I will set it in the hieroglyphic signs that spell it.
Either script sits in the same frame, in the same solid gold, at the same price.
THREE SIZES
───────────
The plate comes in three heights, and all three are 10 mm wide, so they hang the same way. Only the drop changes.
30 mm is the everyday size. It sits quietly at the collarbone and holds a short name.
40 mm is a third longer. It reads from across a room and takes a longer name without crowding.
50 mm is the statement. It is the one ordered for hieroglyphs, because the signs need room to be read as signs rather than as decoration.
WHAT A CARTOUCHE IS
───────────────────
In ancient Egypt, a cartouche was an oval frame drawn around a name to protect and preserve it.
Only names were written inside one. Everything else on a wall sat outside the frame.
That is the whole idea of this pendant: a shape that exists for no reason except to hold a name.
Put hieroglyphs inside it, and you have the thing itself. Put Hebrew inside it, and you have two of the oldest writing systems in the world on one piece of jewelry.
THE GOLD LETTERS
────────────────
Each letter or sign is cut from solid 14K gold and set by hand onto the silver plate.
Raised gold on silver reads at a distance in a way a flat engraving never does, because the letters catch light on their own faces.
The gold is solid, not plating, so there is no thin layer to wear off the top of a letter where fingers touch it most.
The silver behind them is given a soft texture, which stops the background from competing with the name.
HIGHLIGHTS
──────────
• Hebrew letters or Egyptian hieroglyphs, your choice
• Solid 14K gold letters, raised, not engraved and not plated
• 925 sterling silver cartouche in 30, 40 or 50 mm
• Five chain lengths, 14 to 22 inches
• A layout sent for approval before anything is made
• Handmade to order
WRITING YOUR NAME
─────────────────
Send me the name in Hebrew or in English, and I will convert it for you into Hebrew or hieroglyphs.
The 30 mm plate holds about five letters comfortably, the 40 mm about seven, and the 50 mm about nine.
Hieroglyphs take a little more room than Hebrew letters, so a long name in hieroglyphs usually wants the 50 mm.
Longer names still work, and I will tell you how it will look before I start.
I'll send you the layout for approval first, so you can check the spelling and spacing before any gold is cut.
HOW TO ORDER
────────────
1. Choose Hebrew Letters or Hieroglyph Symbols.
2. Choose 30 mm, 40 mm or 50 mm.
3. Choose your chain length.
4. Type the name in the NAME box, in Hebrew or in English.
5. Add to cart.
I will send you the layout for approval before anything is made.
CHAIN LENGTH GUIDE
──────────────────
14 inches sits at the base of the neck, and 16 inches sits just below it.
18 inches is the most commonly ordered length and falls at the collarbone, where a 30 mm plate sits best.
20 and 22 inches sit lower, which suits the 40 mm and 50 mm plates, layering, or a higher neckline.
PRODUCTION & DELIVERY
─────────────────────
Each necklace is made to order, so nothing is sitting in a drawer waiting.
Production takes 1 to 3 business days, and then it ships with tracking.
To the USA, it travels with USPS and takes 6 to 9 business days.
Everywhere else it goes by FedEx Express and takes 3 to 6 business days.
It arrives in a gift box with a polishing cloth, at no extra charge.
MADE FOR
────────
This is bought for a bar mitzvah or a bat mitzvah, and by people who want their Hebrew name on something they will keep.
It is bought in hieroglyphs by people who came back from Egypt wanting the real thing rather than a souvenir.
It is worn by men and by women. The shape is narrow, and the size and the chain length do the rest.
GOOD TO KNOW
────────────
Q: Can I really have hieroglyphs?
A: Yes.
Choose Hieroglyph Symbols, send me the name in English, and I will set it in the signs that spell it.
Q: Which size should I choose?
A: 30 mm for everyday wear and a short name, 40 mm for a longer name, 50 mm for a bold piece or for hieroglyphs.
Send me the name, and I will tell you which one it sits in better.
Q: Are the letters really gold?
A: Yes, solid 14K gold, set onto the silver by hand.
They are neither gold-plated nor gold-filled.
Q: I do not know how to write my name in Hebrew.
A: Send it in English, and I will write it in Hebrew and send it back for your approval.
Q: Can I have it all in gold?
A: Message me before you order, and I will tell you what I can do.
Q: Will you show me the layout first?
A: Yes.
Nothing is made until you approve the spelling and the spacing.
Q: How do I look after it?
A: Keep it dry and away from perfume and cleaning products.
A soft cloth brings the silver back when it dulls, and the gold letters need nothing.
Q: Does it come gift wrapped?
A: Yes, every order ships in a gift box at no extra charge.

Beautiful pendant/necklace - pendant delicate, right size as described, very well made. Necklace length also right length - so many are just too short for a lot of women. A+
